This blogger appeals to UPA Chairperson and Congress head to take the responsibility and rein in the rogue elements in Indian establishment who are trying to scuttle international commitment on climate change that is to take place in Copenhagen. The fact that climate changes are anthropogenic is well established by scientific studies and there has been lots of attempts being made in recent times to subjectify these by influential interest groups (not the least by Bush administration). The Climate Change meet schedule to happen at Copenhagen is important for the world, and yes it needs to succeed. There has to be a binding agreement to reduce green houses gases. There is a need to see the world beyond the narrow views of economist and diplomats. History is quite ruthless when it judges and future generation is not going forgive. Is Mrs Gandhi listening?. This blogger wants to know what constitutes ‘national interest’? Who are the people who defined these?. In the meantime this blogger is extremely excited by the commitments made by EU, as also the enthusiasm of USA under its new leadership. I am particularly gladdened by the leadership role taken by China on these matters (it definitely befits its status as responsible world power. I am a big admirer of Chinese civilization, having read much. Recently I have been reading some brilliant Chinese poems. A positive China is asset to the world). We need also to note the commitment made by Brazil. If India plays foul then it should be isolated, the world need to point firmly who the deal breakers are. It is a disgrace. History will judge and will judge harshly, but then do we really have time for these small timers?!!
